My dear friend! Keeping in view the changed mind of the Paper Setter and the FPSC, I guess Arabic is no more a scoring subject. One would be at a huge risk. Even with best preparation we can't master this subject. Therefore , the luck of the aspirants in this subject would always be decided by the pen of the paper setter. In such a scenario it won't be wise to remain sticked with this erstwhile scoring subject. I had 137 in 2010 and 140 in 2011. But now for my final attempt I would give a second thought to my choice of the optionals.

Dear now we can't expect from Arabic which we are used to. I personally fell if one has better alternative , one shouldn't hesitate in switching.

Yea why not. Here I am.
Whatever little I know , I don't conceal a bit in guiding my fellows with my limited knowledge .
Well there are possibilities that the old pattern may be revived. If that takes place , Arabic can see the it's good times. This year the aspirants were denied the chance of attempting the translation questions which actually hurt the aspirants. As the translation was beyond all the limits of syllabus. However , besides that things were not that bad. Rest of the challenge posed by the paper setter could be faced with better preparation. If translation portion again is used by the examiner like this, Arabic won't be high scoring. I would suggest you to think about some better alternative. But if you are not left with any choice then go with this subject . But don't attach that high expectations with this subject onwards.

My dear if the paper setter treads the same path , there are remote possibilities of grabbing enviable sore in Arabic.
